- VO Awards
The VO Awards celebrate the most authentic excellence in the jewellery world: a prestigious recognition signed Vicenzaoro, dedicated to the brightest talents, the most revolutionary innovations and the most extraordinary creations in the industry.
A tribute to those whose boldness, style and contemporary sensibilities are redefining the language of luxury and inspiring the future of the goldsmith's art.
THE CATEGORIES
The VO Awards categories were created with the aim of highlighting excellence in contemporary jewellery, rewarding jewellery that best expresses aesthetics, quality, innovation and craftsmanship. Each category represents a creative world, a stylistic vision, a different interpretation of goldsmith talent.
THE COMPETING CATEGORIES
The categories fit coherently into the exhibition format of Vicenzaoro - The Jewellery Boutique Show, where the offer is structured in thematic Communities: product areas that bring together companies that share a common identity, language and positioning.
The reference Communities for the VO Awards are:
- ICON - High jewellery
- CREATION - Gold and silver jewellery production
- LOOK - Contemporary jewellery
Each category is therefore closely linked to its Community of reference, enhancing its spirit and excellence. The transversal categories (Chain and Young) complete the picture by rewarding distinctive elements and new protagonists in the sector, helping to tell the story of the richness and variety of today's goldsmith panorama.
